It's just a worse developer experience. Fine if you aren't a serious business, but yeah I wouldn't play down the value of Mintlify or similar products. It's seriously good and it's why huge companies use it

It's not the site's job to add those features though. If you want that experience there are ways to get it without adding bloat to every page on the web. Scraping a static site and answering questions/summarizing is a solved problem.

It’s so odd for a tech focused crowed to be so opposed to newer technology.
Users are getting used to natural language search, not having it will be perceived as friction.
Users are increasingly turning to agentic coding tools, those tools do best when documentation is available via an MCP server. Not having one will make it harder for people to use your product.

I would ask if you've started a real business but it's clear you haven't. It is 100% on a developer tool startup to provide documentation that is easily accessible. If they don't, customers will struggle to get value. If you think this isn't true, then you are ignoring the gigantic market of companies purchasing documentation products (look at Mintlify's customer base for reference)
There is no way I'm asking my customers to scrape my docs and build their own MCP server and AI assistant just to access it easily.
